Piano Tuning And Ergonomics

[Phil Bondi]

Hello class.

Good suggestions..every single one of them.

Ed, I have stretched in the past to help with my birth defect (beyond the
obvious brain damage!)..I am unfamiliar with Yoga..I have thought that going
back to my stretching may help this problem without seek more Western
medical advice (loved it, Newton).

Dale, I swear by Rockports and would not consider(yet) wearing something
else on my feet..as to your suggestion to tuning Left-handed, I already
practice exactly what you posted(pitch raise with your Left..hi treble with
your Left)..as to raising my fees..well..I'm already the 2nd highest tuner
in this area..and I just got done raising my price back in May...no, I do
not own a ball-end tuning hammer.

Patrick, I have never been interested in particle physics(unless it involves
cleaning soundboards!)..more shop work is just around the corner with more
Player Installations...but anyone reading this who does them knows that
working on your back and working with your arms above your head is something
that can't be avoided, no matter how much bench prep you do before your
'final adjustments'.. and that position tends to bring on the numbness(in my
hand, not my head!)

Thanks to all..keep them coming..I'll let you know how this turns out..I
honestly feel this is treatable in the near future.
